Chapter 148 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (48)
The mocking laughter in Di Tian’s voice caused a slight pain in Yan Luo’s ears. Her gaze slowly sank, but she stubbornly said, “I believe my Elder Brother has his own thoughts. I won’t listen to your nonsense.”
“Indeed, your dear Elder Brother must have his own thoughts.” Di Tian straightened up, tilting his head. “Especially when it comes to revenge, he must have his own ideas. Without him, we wouldn’t have thought of being able to eliminate two high-ranking officers of the Alliance in one fell swoop. Lu Buchi has helped us a lot.”
Yan Luo’s pupils suddenly contracted as her hands, shackled by handcuffs, tightened continuously.
“Oh, by the way, you don’t know yet, do you? Lu Buchi has been waiting for this day for a long time. Although the Imperial ships exploded, they weren’t caught in the magnetic storm, so the remaining wreckage can still reveal some things. And among those who could evade all surveillance and have grievances with Jiang Chou, it seems that only Lu Buchi is in the Imperial capital.”
Yan Luo remained silent, listening to Di Tian’s light laughter in her ears.
He continued, “Moreover, it seems he’s more eager than us to provoke conflicts between the two major star systems. Take a guess, were your Father and Brother’s deaths also part of his plan? The highest-ranking officers of the Alliance died because of the Imperial ship’s mistake…”
“Shut up, my Father and Brother won’t die! They won’t! My Elder Brother wouldn’t do such a thing, he wouldn’t!” Saying so, Yan Luo widened her eyes, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
“So, the Princess on the high tower seems unaware of how cruel it is here,” Di Tian shrugged. “Lu Buchi should be coming soon. Why don’t you ask him yourself? It’s also a good opportunity to see how highly he regards you. But don’t worry, even if he doesn’t care about you, there are five A+ level Imperial experts guarding here. If he doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled, giving you some relief, right, Princess?”
Di Tian’s suppressed laughter echoed incessantly in Yan Luo’s ears. Yan Luo tried hard to break free from the restraints, but to no avail, she could only stare resentfully at him, “You…”
“Can’t even say a word?” Di Tian turned and walked to a nearby seat, casually speaking, “This is surprising, you really seem to adore your Elder Brother, forsaking even your Father and Brother.”
Before Yan Luo could retort, a loud noise interrupted them, causing everyone to change their expressions.
There was no movement at the door, but the wall nearby began to tremble slightly before collapsing with a loud crash.
Amidst the flying dust, a figure stepped over the rubble and walked towards them. The commotion was so great that no one reacted.
Yan Luo coughed from the dust and looked up, her voice low, “Elder Brother?”
Lu Buchi tightly pressed his lips together, darkness swirling in his eyes, as he looked at the girl who had always been spoiled by him, now lying in a sorry state on the ground, her blue dress covered in dust.
Her hair disheveled, lips pale, tears in the corners of her eyes, and her hands shackled, blood stains visible from her intense struggles.
Lost, helpless, and desperate…
Lu Buchi’s footsteps didn’t falter, his hands clenched suddenly, and the suppressed ferocity within him erupted almost piercing through the ceiling, instilling fear in those around, making them instinctively want to retreat.
